Davis and Tennon once again shared the screen together in Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's "Air," which recalls the origin story of Nike and Michael Jordan's epic deal to create the Air Jordan sneaker. In the movie, Davis plays the legendary athlete's mother, Deloris Jordan, and Tennon portrays his late father, James Jordan Sr.
Davis talked about what it was like starring alongside her husband in an April 2023 interview with Collider, saying, "Let me tell you, that is our dynamic in real life." "Julius has told me, since we got together, 'V, now when you come home and it's late at night, you make sure you don't get out of that car until the gates close. And if someone's following you, you lay on that horn, and I'm gonna come out with my baseball bat,'" she continued. "I laid on the horn once by accident, coming home at three o'clock in the morning. I counted to five and Julius came out with the baseball bat, and I knew. I was like, 'That's it. I'm gonna marry him.' That's my dude."
